Before After TESTIMONI AL 1 YEAR ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP $ 319 FP * C AIRO, Egypt - An Egyptian- Canadian journalist imprisoned for more than a year in Cairo has relinquished his Egyptian citizenship as a condition of his freedom, his fiancee said Monday. Marwa Omara said it was " a very hard" decision for Mohamed Fahmy. " He is a proud Egyptian that comes from a family of military servicemen," Omara said in an email to The Canadian Press. " They told him: ' Nationality is in the heart, and you can come in as a tourist.' " It remained unclear when exactly Fahmy would be released. However, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird told CBC Monday Fahmy's release was " imminent." He declined to provide any more details. The 40- year- old was expected to be deported to Canada when released. Fahmy's mother sent a public letter to Egypt's president on the weekend, calling her son an " innocent" man in urgent need of medical treatment. " Mr. President, as a journalist my son never strived to tarnish Egypt's image. It's this Al- Jazeera case that now smears Egypt's reputation abroad," wrote Wafa Abdel Hamid Bassiouni. Fahmy and two Al Jazeera colleagues - Australian journalist Peter Greste and Egyptian Baher Mohamed - were arrested in December 2013 and convicted of terror charges related to their coverage of the violent crackdown on Islamist protests. They were sentenced to between seven and 10 years. Their trial sparked condemnation from human rights and media groups around the world. Greste was finally freed on Sunday. In his first public comments since his release, Greste told Al Jazeera English he experienced a " real mix of emotions" when he was freed because his colleagues remained in prison. " It was a very difficult moment walking out of that prison, saying goodbye to the guys, not knowing how much longer they all have to put up with this," he said. Greste said his freedom was something of a " rebirth" and that the key to his well- being while incarcerated was exercising, studying and meditating. Prison officials and Egypt's official Middle East News Agency said Greste's release resulted from a " presidential approval" and was co- ordinated with the Australian embassy. - The Canadian Press with files from AP Citizenship traded for freedom O TTAWA - John Baird, one of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's most trusted and highprofile cabinet ministers, is resigning his foreign affairs post and will not seek re- election later this year. Multiple Conservative sources tell The Canadian Press Baird announced the news Monday, and it shocked even some of his cabinet colleagues. It is still unclear where Baird is headed, and International Trade Minister Ed Fast appears poised to take over as acting foreign minister. " The minister is looking to turn the page on 20 years of public service, and like anyone in public office is looking for new opportunities at the young age of 45," said a Conservative close to Baird, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Some Tories are speculating the politician from Ottawa is headed to a career in the private sector. " These are potentially peak earning years for him," said one Toronto- area Conservative. Baird has spent a lifetime in politics, joining the Progressive Conservative youth wing and going on to work in the Parliament Hill office of cabinet minister Perrin Beatty. In 1995, he won a seat in the Ontario legislature, and went on to hold a variety of posts in the government of Tory Premier Mike Harris. Baird was one of the " blue" Tories who supported the merger of the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance parties, but more importantly supported Stephen Harper's bid for the leadership of the new Conservative Party of Canada. When the Conservatives formed a government in 2006, Harper gave him the lead role in ushering through the first major piece of legislation, the Federal Accountability Act, as president of the Treasury Board. Later, as environment minister, he helped to sever Canada's commitment to the Kyoto Accord on climate change. As Transport and Infrastructure minister, he ushered through millions in stimulus spending in the midst of the economic downturn. In this last portfolio at foreign affairs since 2011, Baird has gone from being the prime minister's pitbull during question period to a more statesman- type role on the world stage. He has taken on some key issues, including speaking out forcefully on discrimination against gays and lesbians internationally, and against forced child marriages. Just this week, Baird has been working to secure the release of Egyptian- Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy from a Cairo prison. - The Canadian Press MORE CANADA / WORLD NEWS B6 Minister Baird to resign, leave politics, sources says By Jennifer Ditchburn Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird shocked his colleagues Monday in announcing he was leaving politics.
